Perhaps you’ve heard the old joke about the New York Times headline at the end of the world: “World to end tomorrow; women, minorities hardest hit.”
Well, the Times lived up to the stereotype today with its front page headline on Donald Trump’s shocking upset: “Democrats, students and foreign allies face the reality of a Trump presidency.” The story in question covers the entire front page above the fold, as you can see in the video above.
On “Morning Joe,” Bloomberg’s Mark Halperin pointed out that there’s no way an upset by a Democratic candidate in a similiar situation would have been covered this way. “Their headline is about how disappointed the friends of the people who run New York Times are about what has happened,” he said.
Co-host Joe Scarborough was equally merciless: “This is actually a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit,” he said. “You went to a cocktail party the night before, and you decided to write this.”
